1 Partial characterisation of pilchard herpesvirus and the associated disease in pilchards This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Murdoch University by Melanie Crockford 2007
2 Declaration The experiments in this thesis constitute work carried out by the candidate unless otherwise stated. The thesis is less than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, figures, bibliography and appendices, and complies with the stipulations set out for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Murdoch University, Western Australia.. Melanie Crockford i
3 Abstract In 1995 and again in 1998, millions of pilchards (Sardinops sagax neopilchardus) were found dead or dying off the coast of Australia and also in New Zealand. The epizootics moved progressively, at a rapid speed against the prevailing currents. A previously unrecognised herpesvirus, Pilchard herpesvirus (PHV), was identified as the causative agent. Until recently, rapid and sensitive methods to detect PHV were not available and based on a previously identified and conserved 373 bp region of the genome, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), in situ hybridisation and real-time PCR methods were developed for the specific detection of PHV in formaldehyde-fixed and frozen tissues of pilchards. Real-time PCR was shown to have greater sensitivity than a conventional PCR and in situ hybridisation for the detection of PHV infection. The PCR assay and sequence analysis of the amplification products was used to compare the 373 bp region of the genome from strains obtained during the 1995 and 1998 epidemics. Significant differences between the strains were not detected. Additional sequence data was obtained adjacent to the 373 bp of known PHV sequence, which did not match any sequence in any of the genetic databases, and this will be invaluable for further study of the pilchard herpesvirus and the development of improved detection methods. The molecular-based methods of virus detection developed were applied to a reexamination of virus in paraffin-embedded tissues taken from fish during an attempt to transmit the virus to wild caught pilchards in The results obtained confirmed previously equivocal results that transmission of PHV to wild caught pilchards was achieved, although this experiment failed to demonstrate that transmission of the virus resulted in severe lesions typical of those seen in the epizootics. Using formaldehyde-fixed samples from fish collected during the 1998 PHV epizootic, virus was detected in fish collected 4 days prior to the occurrence of the epizootic even though the fish then appeared clinically normal, during the epizootic, and 8 days after mortalities had ceased. An investigation of wild pilchards collected from 4 Australian pilchard subpopulations using real-time PCR demonstrated that PHV was present in the gills of 13.75% of 800 fish sampled, indicating that the virus is now endemic in the Australian pilchard population. Variation in the prevalence of PHV infection in the 4 ii
4 subpopulations was detected, higher in western and southern populations than in populations from the east coast. The endemic nature of PHV infection in the pilchard population explains why there have been no further epizootics with mass mortalities since iii
5 Acknowledgements Work on Pilchard herpesvirus has been made possible through the support of the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation, who funded the project, the Department of Fisheries WA, where the majority of the work was done, and Murdoch University, WA. This project would not have been possible without mentoring from my supervisors, Dr. Brian Jones and Prof. Graham Wilcox, both of whom allowed me to tap into their wealth of knowledge. They assisted me in deciding upon aims and objectives, interpretation of data and when, where and how to use different writing styles. Thank you to Brian for his never-ending support and guidance throughout this project. For someone that is so busy, Brian has always made time to answer my questions and set me on the right path. Thank you also to Graham for his guidance, especially with data interpretation and in the editing of this thesis. This project allowed me to work with some interesting and talented people, but I would especially like to thank Dr. Mark Crane and Dr. Ken McColl of the Australian Animal Health Laboratory in Geelong, and also Prof. Richard Whittington of the University of Sydney for their hospitality during my visit, their guidance and contributions to work on Pilchard herpesvirus, and for broadening my scientific perspective. Thank you to my partner, Aaron, for enduring the many highs and lows of research, and the moods that go with them. I am sure that at times it felt like the world evolved around pilchards and herpesviruses, and that often during this project you didn t have my full attention. Our weekends can now be free of pilchards. And last, but certainly not least, to my dad, Graham, whose courage and strength in everyday life has taught me the power of persistence, determination and laughter. iv
